- This three-year, $250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research into how college students in STEM disciplines use generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for academic help-seeking. Through surveys, interviews, and case studies, the project will generate empirical data to understand how students use AI tools, the challenges they face, and the guidance or support...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), provides $449,768 to the Concord Consortium, a non-profit research and development organization, to develop a digital learning tool that allows middle school students to visually and dynamically explore neural pathways in language-based AI systems. The project aims to enhance students' understanding of neural network interpretability and human-machine collaboration in AI development. Key...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program provides $200,000 to support a time-sensitive project that aims to empower teachers to harness the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create interactive, personalized STEM learning resources. The project team, led by the Regents of the University of Michigan, will partner with WGBH Educational Foundation to develop a teacher-AI...
CONFERENCE: BUILDING SCIENTIFIC CAPACITY FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE -THIS PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER TEACHERS, RESEARCHERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SHAPE HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IS USED FOR SOCIETAL BENEFIT. AS NEW AI TOOLS ARE DEVELOPED TO ASSIST IN LANGUAGE LEARNING, TRANSLATION, AND RELATED TASKS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE OPTIMALLY DEPLOYED AND INFORMED BY PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGES IN QUESTION. WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THIS EFFORT LAYS THE SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION NEEDED TO EXPLORE HOW AI CAN WORK IN LOW-DATA, LINGUISTICALLY COMPLEX SETTINGS. THROUGH A THREE-DAY WORKSHOP, PARTICIPANTS SHARE EXPERIENCES, LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND CREATE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ADVANCE RIGOROUS AI RESEARCH. OTHER BENEFITS TO SOCIETY INCLUDE ENSURING THAT EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES OPEN NEW DIRECTIONS FOR CUTTING-EDGE AI RESEARCH AND STRENGTHEN TRANSLATIONAL APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND REVITALIZATION. THE PROJECT CONVENES A NATIONAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOP FOCUSED ON AI PRACTICES IN LOW-DATA LANGUAGE CONTEXTS. IT ADDRESSES AN URGENT GAP AT THE INTERSECTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, LANGUAGE SCIENCES, AND LANGUAGE DOCUMENTATION BY CONNECTING PRACTITIONERS WITH RESEARCHERS IN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES. THROUGH INVITED TALKS, PANELS, AND BREAKOUT SESSIONS, THE EVENT IDENTIFIES PROMISING PRACTICES AND POTENTIAL CONCERNS, AND PRODUCES GUIDANCE ON AI DEVELOPMENT. THE WORKSHOP SUPPORTS STRATEGIC GOALS IN AI BY ADVANCING METHODS FOR HUMAN-AI COLLABORATION, LOW-RESOURCE MODEL ADAPTATION, AND LINGUISTICALLY GROUNDED EVALUATION IN COMPLEX DOMAINS. KEY OUTCOMES INCLUDE A POSITION PAPER, CONCRETE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTITUTIONS AND FUNDERS, AND THE FORMATION OF AN INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKING GROUP TO SUPPORT SUSTAINED COLLABORATION. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
